We started today with a review of solving a system of equations by substitution. I had Ben walk me through the steps one by one as I wrote it down on the white board. Ben did a great job recalling when/how we would obtain "no solution" or "infinite solutions" for an answer. Next, I gave Ben a tutorial on how to solve systems of equations using Elimination. I showed Ben how when these equations are aligned, it is incentive for us to add the equations and we will get either x or y to eliminate. I showed Ben how this approach, if the equations are set up properly, is usually the easiest for us. I had Ben practice two problems on his own. One problem he ended up getting a solution for it. The second problem he had trouble finding the solution, because we got 3=7. Then he realized that when this happens it's because there is actually "no solution". The goal is for us to review these 3 approaches to solving the system and then we will have a test.
